Leasing is a common business practice whereby consumers acquire the use of an asset from a lessor for a period of time in exchange for a regular lease payment. However, the contribution of leasing to an overall product stewardship strategy is often overlooked. Drawing on examples from different sectors, in this practice note, we explore the economic potential of leasing as a product stewardship strategy.
The Product Stewardship Centre of Excellence is an independent, not for profit charity, that seeks to reduce waste generation and create positive environmental and social outcomes through sustainable design, resource conservation, reuse, repair, and recycling. The Centre helps businesses, industries, and product stewardship organisations to adopt a strong lifecycle approach to deliver their ESG and circular economy objectives. We also provide independent advice on product stewardship priorities to the Australian government.
